ionospheric slab thickness is defined as the ratio of tec to maximum electron density of the f-region (nmf2), proportional to the square of the f2-layer critical frequency (fof2). it is an important parameter in that it is linearly correlated with scale height of the ionosphere, which is related to electron density profile. it also reflects variation of the neutral temperature. therefore, ionos...

In this paper, natural convection heat transfer over a vertical plate in a Darcy porous medium saturated with a nanofluid subject to heat generation/absorption was theoretically studied. The governing partial differential equations were transformed to a set of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and solved using finite difference method. The influence of parametric ...
